No, in fact that was original material. Or at least as original as you can be when making a pun on "Do you want frie with that?" Any simmilarity between my post and driver modules whether loaded or unloaded is purely coincidental.
There is a copy of lemmings for Palm available from

caldera: a volcanic crater that has a diameter many times that of the vent and is formed by collapse of the central part of a volcano or by explosions of extraordinary violence.
McBride thinks that SCO group (formerly Caldera) owns UNIX, which just goes to show that he doesn't know UNIX from a hole in the ground.
"Hey Boss." "Yeah?" "Should we put a heater on the ISS module?" "Hell no. If they won't give us a heater down here let those rocket jockeys suffer. And make the water system incompatible with the Russian module while you're at it."
I had one of these and my boss had an ultra 20. Somehow he just couldn't figure out why the server-class Intel motherboards we were getting were so much faster than his couple year old ultra 20. Like the fact that it was from Sun was supossed to cancel out the effects of Moore's law.
I thought it would be a good idea for currency to have features designed to throw off scanners and printers. The first would be a set of converging lines at a small angle, like a horizonal line that intersects a diagonal line one one end and is seperated by 1/4 inch on the other end. Another idea is to have several square fields each filled with close set parallel lines. Each field would be rotated slightly from the one next to it, so if you squint at the bill, they will all look a uniform grey, but if you copy it, the raster pattern should be evident and result in a checkerboard or some other pattern.
This should leave the driver with both hands free to make the appropriate hand signals to the cars behind that are honking. Seriously, the worst thing about parallel parking is that the cars usually follow too close to allow you to back into a place.
bring their first lander down right on top of the American flag posted there
No, they should grab the flag and return it to the U.S. That would be a big old wet slap in the face. We should have more firm timelines, like return to the Moon in 6 years (we did it in 8 before, right?), with a permanant manned presence on the Moon in 10 years. (Hint: don't wait for #1 to happen before starting work on #2)
I thought that's what I was saing. There may be fines and injunctons against distributing the product because it has violated the GPL, but there is no way in which the GPL forces the developer to release his or her code under the GPL. Releaseing its code under the GPL is one way to comply, removing the GPL code from the product is another.
Also, as I understand it, since the GPL is a licence and not a contract, if a company is found to have stolen GPL code and released it in a manner that is not allowed under the GPL, that does _not_ allow the developers of the GPL to demand that the company's code be released under GPL. Releasing its code is one way for a company to comply with the GPL, but it is not the only way. They can also remove the GPL code and write their own replacement.
There may be fines and injunctions involved, but nothing that "forces" code into the GPL.
He has a history of being a compulsive liar. And he lies about things that are so easy to disprove. To Wit:
During the debate with then Governeor of Texas George Bush, he claimed that he accompanied the FEMA director to see the extent of damage due to a wildfire. In fact, he was not on that trip, and only visited Texas after the fire to attend a fund-raising event.
He also decried the overcrowdin in schools by citing two examples. In one school, the cafeteria was so crowded that the students had to eat lunch in shifts starting at 9:30. Most if not all schools have lunch in shifts to allow for a smaller cafeteria, etc. The assertion that the first shift started at 9:30 was entirely false and was refuted by the school's principal. In another school, he caimed that there were not enough desks, and the room was so crowded that students had to stand. Again, false. There were plenty of desks and the room was crowded though, with equipment that was to be used to refurbish the room.
So, how could America trust Gore with the nation's future and giving us the straight picture when he lied about such small and easy to refute things? The most dangerous type of liar is one who thinks he is telling the truth.
On the other hand, money invested in getting to the space will stimulate technological development, increase our national competitiveness, and expand the knowledge of the human race. I think realistic thinking dictates that we need to do the latter.
Bravo. That is the point exactly. The money spent on space development has allowed (forced?) us to develop technology, which we have sold to the world and made a tidy profit on. The Appolo program gave us a lead. A Mars program will help renew that lead.
Oh that we'd elect Al Gore, and he'd said just that.
Oh, the father of the Internet, Eh? Gore is a Weenie with a capital W. Wait, I'll give him a capital N too. WeeNee. If Gore were elected, he would tell us that he had already been to Mars, as he was so fond of exaggerating his own accomplishments.
For the love of God (or whatever entity or non-entity you do or don't worship) don't vote for Bush in November 2003!!!!!!!!
Whoa, dogged a bullet there. Wait, I think I still have an opportunity to not vote for him in 2004 when the election is actually held.
Why? There is nothing there, and it is not useful to stop there for refeuling on the way to Mars because the delta-v required to go to Mars is actually _less_ than that require to go to the Moon. It is probably a good place to launch a ship from, but you would have to build the ship on the moon.
We can always add more steps to the process: space stations, Moon bases, on-orbit assembly, nuclear propulsion, space elevators. And I'm not sayig that any of these are bad ideas, but none are necessary in order to perform a manned mission to Mars. As Bob Zubrin is always pointing out, we are more ready to go to Mars now than we were ready to go to the Moon when it was announced by Kennedy.
What's more, the researchers were astounded when the robot lept 3 feet straight into the air and stayed suspended there for several seconds before running away. "Something must have startled it" was all the researchers could think to explain this behavior.

I tried just it through babelish, but that just made things worse.
Come on, when was the last time you saw adequate garbage collection in a fast food restaurant?
Customer: I'll have a shake, and 4 mallocs.
Clerk: do you want any frees with that?
Customer: No thanks.
Cllerk: OK, but you'll be sorry.
Now see, posts like this are why they should raise the point system above +5. Very funny indeed.

Oh man, I wish I could mod you up, but I already posted.

So the church was right all along!?!
That Hogwarts set blew chunks too. The roof was made of cardboard or flexible plastic. To paraphrase Homer:
Did we lose a war? That's not Lego, that's not even Duplo.
Bonus points to whoever can identify the episode.
